Tips to make White Chocolate Chip Cookies

• Experiment with adding nuts or dried fruit for extra flavor!

FAQs

1. Can I use unsalted butter instead of salted butter?
Yes, you can use unsalted butter. If you do, you may want to add a pinch of salt to the dough.

2. How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when the edges are a light golden brown and the center looks slightly soft. They will continue to cook a little after you take them out of the oven.

3. Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes! You can make the dough ahead and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage. Just scoop the dough onto a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen when ready!

4. What should I do if my cookies spread too much?
If your cookies spread too much, try chilling the dough before baking or adding a little more flour to your dough.
